Victory Driven

[coffee_time]

On my V1 I bought an OEM wheel and mounted the least worn F1 SC RFT and gm jack kit and the spare in the well. Never needed it. On the V2 I just risked it and old got a puncture one time but I was on my winter set rear which happened to be a Pilot Sport A/S+ RFT at that time.

Back to the book, I've read up through the V3. I never really paid much attention to the V3 when it came out because we were about to have a kid at that time and it didn't seem much better than the V2 (and no manual). But reading the book made we wish I had gotten one.

I haven't read the book yet but I owned a V2 and V3 and that was a HUUUUUGE jump in performance. It was crazy.

At the time I bought my V-Wagon, I needed a car that could haul my mountain bikes and the V-Wagon was it. The V3 with the extra HP would have been nice but it didn't come in a wagon. Oh Well. So far, I haven't had the desire to pull the trigger on a BlackWing.
I'll keep driving my V-Wagon a few more years. Besides I added a 2025 Corvette Eray to my garage late last year.

Is it true V-club members get a 10% discount on the book?

I plan to keep my copy to read to my girls as a bedtime story.

They will be asleep in 60seconds.

My youngest might actually like cars when she's older. She laughs anytime I floor it. And one time after a spirited drive she gets out of the backseat and says "Daddy, what is that yummy smell?". I ask, "You mean brakes and tires?", "Yes! It's yummy".

So there is hope for the next generation not all being EV appliance passengers.

Yeah but some of the pages might be stuck together.

Finished the book today. Now I want to go get a 5BW. And a V3 and STS-V.

As an ex-v3 owner the biggest problem, and thus dealbreaker unless you’re going to tune it and fix it, is the absolute SHIT transmission. It’s a pickup truck transmission and acts like it.

If I wasn't able to get my 2022 5BW.....my second choice was to buy an XLR-V. Had a few in my sites. If I ever sell my Dodge Challenger, I still may pick one up.
